The expanded (24b) and non-expanded portions (50) are of the same extrudate. The expanded portion (24b) has a region which adjoins the non-expanded portion (50) wherein a degree of expansion of the region is limited by the non-expanded portion (50). The limiting of the expansion by the non-expanded portion (50) is attenuated at a location of the region which is remote from the non-expanded portion (50). A method for making the vascular graft facilitates the formation of the non-expanded and expanded portions of the PTFE tube structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to a preferably sheet-like manufactured wood material for furniture and interior construction, offering attractive decorative alternatives to conventionally applied finishings in numerous possible variations. The aim of the invention is to economically produce wood material sheets for decorative purposes without additional facings or without complicated coloured treatments, wherein wood material sheets of basic known construction are single-sidedly or double-sidedly provided with a surface particle or fragment coating of foreign materials which define the surface structure such that the foreign materials under a protective layer have an uneven separation from each other, covering more than 10 % of the sheet surface. The foreign materials, preferably natural materials such as cork or hemp cuttings, but also plastics, metal particles or recycling materials are arranged either such as to extend beyond the surface of the sheet in a relief pattern or form a smooth single sheet surface with the wood material. An example of the relief pattern structured material is shown in fig. 6.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for measuring air turbulences with a lidar system, particularly on board aircraft during which a pulsed expanded laser beam (12) of a predetermined wavelength is emitted up to a spatial area and light backscattered from this spatial area is received. At a first point in time t1 and at a second point in time t2 after emitting a laser pulse (L), the intensity distribution in the cross-section of the backscattered light is measured, and an air turbulence in a measuring field defined by points in time t1 and t2 is determined from the comparison of both intensity distributions.  Images of speckle patterns are recorded with the aid of cameras (21, 22). An evaluation unit (30) conducts a cross correlation in order to render the turbulence visible and to display it on a monitor (35).
